Script.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I like both, but I'll vote for Misplaced Childhood because it has less votes.
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

`Script' for me, I like that it has longer pieces and more aggression (although could have done with a little less falsetto! ).

`Misplaced' has a wonderful first side, and although I KNOW there's good stuff near the later part of the second half, I rarely seem to keep the disc on that long and get a little sick of it.

Both fine albums though.

I like the darkness of Script. I loved Misplaced Childhood at the time, but now it all sounds a bit overblown and over produced. There are moments of brilliance and moments that really rub me up the wrong way; Lavender being one of them. It makes my ears cringe.

my thoughts exactly; sometimes I just listen to side A + "Blind Curve", just perfect to me. But "...Childhood" made them big and influenced/shined a light on a bunch of other guys from the genre. "Script" is my all-time favourite album, even though it has its flaws...I won't POINT at them But I simply can't listen to it too often, it's too personal for me. So it's tough, yeah, but I'd go with "Script" anyway

Not a massive fan of either but Misplaced Childhood has Blind Curve which is probably the most exceptional neo prog track of the eighties for me (although IQ's Widows Peak runs it close) so that gets my vote.

Blind curve is a stunning track
